DTC-SVM Control for Induction Motor Drives Fed by Sparse Matrix Converter

This paper proposes a space vector modulated direct torque control strategy for induction motor drives fed by a three phase Sparse Matrix Converter (SMC). For the rectifier stage, a space vector modulation strategy is employed. For the inverter, a direct torque control method with a fixed switching frequency is proposed. The performance of the proposed drive system is evaluated by numerical simulation using Matlab/Simulink environment. The simulation results are used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy and support the analytical results.
